> Charter:
> 
> The MPLS working group is responsible for standardizing technology for label
> switching and for the implementation of label-switched paths over packet
> based link-level technologies.
> 
> The working group's responsibilities include procedures and protocols for the
> distribution of labels between Label Switching Routers (LSRs), MPLS packet
> encapsulation, and for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
> including the necessary management objects expressed as YANG models or
> MIB modules.
> 
> The current WG focus areas and work items are:
> 
> - Maintain existing MPLS requirements, mechanisms, and protocols,
>   as currently documented in RFCs, in coordination with other
>   working groups that work in overlapping areas including the
>   BESS, BFD, CCAMP, OPSAWG, PALS, SPRING, and TEAS
>   working groups.
> 
> - Evolve key MPLS protocols, including LDP, tLDP, mLDP, RSVP-TE
>   for packet networks, and LSP Ping to meet new requirements.
> 
> - Document MPLS-specific aspects of traffic engineering including
>   for multi-areas/multi-AS scenarios in cooperation with the TEAS
>   working group.
> 
> - Coordinate the work on RSVP-TE with CCAMP and TEAS. In the cases
>   where there is an overlap, generic parts will be done by the TEAS
>   working group, MPLS data plane specific parts will be done by the
>   MPLS working group, and support for any other specific data planes
>   will be done by the CCAMP working group. The TEAS working group acts
>   as the hub for coordinating this work, and the MPLS working group
>   will track agreements about work to be done in this working group
>   through milestones in this charter.
> 
> - Define data models for MPLS working group related solutions.
>   YANG models and MIB modules may be considered. Coordinate with
>   the LIME and NETMOD working groups for core YANG models.
> 
> - Define an overall OAM framework for topology-driven, traffic
>   engineered, and transport profile MPLS applications.
> 
> - Define the necessary extensions for MPLS key protocols for dual-
>   stack and IPv6-only networks.
> 
> - Document current implementation practices for MPLS load sharing.
> 
> - Document mechanisms for securing MPLS protocols and data plane.
> 
> - Document mechanisms for adding multi-topology support to existing
>   MPLS protocols.
> 
> - Define the necessary protection protocols and scenarios for transport
>   profile MPLS applications
> 
> - Document use cases for MPLS protocols.
> 
> Milestones:

> TBD
